The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found above the earth layer called the outer core. This boundary line, which separates the outer core from the lower mantle, is approximately 1798 miles below the Earth's surface.

The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found beneath this layer of the lithosphere?

The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found beneath the Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) in the lithosphere. It is located at a depth of about 70 km to 400 km below the Earth's surface. This boundary separates the upper mantle from the lower mantle.


The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found directly above this layer of the earth.?

The Gutenberg discontinuity is found directly above the outer core.


How thick is the gutenberg discontinuity?

The Gutenberg discontinuity was discovered by a German geophysicist named Beno Gutenberg in 1913.Gutenberg find out that it is the boundary that seperates the two layers.The gutenberg layer is 1500 km thick.


What is Internal layer between earths mantle and inner core?

I think there is a layer called the Gutenberg Discontinuity named after a german seismologist named Beno Gutenberg between lower mantle and outer core.


What lies below the earths mantle?

The D" layer (pronounced D double prime layer) forms the base of the Earth's lower mantle. Below this lies the outer core. This boundary zone is marked by a seismic discontinuity known as the Gutenberg discontinuity.


What is the temperature of the Gutenberg discontinuity?

The temperature of the layer below the Core-Mantle boundary (CMB) is 1,292°F (700°C); so, the boundary itself will be slightly lower.


What is just below the Earth's crust?

The D" layer (pronounced D double prime layer) forms the base of the Earth's lower mantle. Below this lies the outer core. This boundary zone is marked by a seismic discontinuity known as the Gutenberg discontinuity.


What is Gutenberg weichert discontinuity?

The Gutenberg Discontinuity is the mantle/core boundary within Earth's interior where there is an abrupt change in the seismic waves (generated by earthquakes or explosions) that travel through Earth. It is at a depth of about 1,800 mi (2,900 km) below the surface.


What is The layer immediately beneath the Moho called?

The Moho , short for Mohorovicic discontinuity , is about 7 kilometers below the floor of the ocean and the MANTLE is the layer immediately beneath the Moho !


What is the boundary between mantle and core?

The boundary between the mantle and the core is called the core-mantle boundary and also The Gutenberg Discontinuity which marks the upper boundary of the D'' (D Double Prime) layer.


Is the boundary between the crust and upper mantle?

The boundary between the crust and upper mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho. It represents the change in seismic wave velocity and composition between the rigid outer layer (crust) and the more ductile layer beneath (mantle).


What is the discontinuity layer?

In geology, a subterranean interface at which seismic velocities change.
